Georgia Olive Farms

Georgia Olive Farms was founded in 2009 by five farmers in Southeast Georgia who wanted to bring olive oil production back to the region. In 2011, they achieved their goal by harvesting the first commercial olive crop grown east of the Mississippi River from their groves near Lakeland, Georgia. The company produces extra virgin olive oil that goes from field to their own mill within 24 hours, using only the first pressing of their olives. Beyond their own production, Georgia Olive Farms works to develop the Southeast's olive oil industry by expanding their groves and providing consulting services to other farmers and investors interested in olive cultivation.
